PART II. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. GENERAL Carver's net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on its loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and the interest paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Carver has undertaken a restructuring of its balance sheet and is now placing primary emphasis on its whole loan portfolio through the origination of loans, as well as the purchase of whole loans. As a result of this effort, the loan portfolio has substantially increased as a percentage of total assets. Therefore, Carver's future earnings will be derived from direct lending and purchase activities replacing investing in securities. Carver's net income is also affected by the generation of non-interest income, such as loan fees and service charges, as well as gains on sales of securities held for sale. In addition, net income is affected by the level of provision for loan losses, as well as operating expenses. The operations of the Bank and the entire thrift industry are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition and the monetary and fiscal policies of governmental agencies. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds. Deposit flow and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing investments, account maturities, and the levels of personal income and savings nationwide. RECAPITALIZATION OF THE SAVINGS ASSOCIATION INSURANCE FUND (SAIF) During the second quarter of fiscal 1997, Carver experienced a one time pre-tax assessment of $1.6 million for recapitalization of the SAIF pursuant to legislation which was signed into law in September of 1996. The legislation to recapitalize the SAIF was anticipated by the industry and reduced Carver Federal's deposit insurance premium from 23 basis points, on insured deposits of approximately $248.4 million, to 6.5 basis points effective January 1, 1997. RESTRUCTURING OF BALANCE SHEET In December of 1996, the Board of Directors made a strategic decision to accelerate the reallocation of assets out of investment securities and into loans. The Board and management reviewed a variety of transactions that would reallocate assets on the balance sheet and the income stream that each would produce. The analysis resulted in a decision to divest of approximately $72 million in money market rate investment securities or mutual funds that were carried on the books as available for sale and reinvest the proceeds into performing one-to-four family adjustable rate mortgages. Carver experienced a one time pre-tax charge of $1.0 million during the fourth fiscal quarter of 1997 as a result of the disposition of the mutual funds. Carver projects that net yields and earnings will be improved by replacing the lower yielding securities with higher yielding loans. In combination with the asset shift, Carver further leveraged the balance sheet by increasing total assets. To accomplish this Carver entered into an agreement to purchase $43.0 million of performing one- to four-family mortgage loans. The Bank increased securities sold under repurchase agreements and borrowing from the FHLB to settle the purchase. At March 31, 1997, Carver settled on $11 million of the loans purchased. The balance of additional loans purchased ($32 million) settled on April 1, 1997. On April 1, 1997, $49.0 million of securities held as available for sale were sold, $17 million was utilized to repay FHLB borrowings and $32 million was used to fund the balance of the additional loans purchased. The average yield on the loans purchased is expected to exceed the yield on the securities sold by approximately 175 basis points. The average yield on the additional loans purchased is expected to exceed the cost of the FHLB borrowings by approximately 100 basis points. As a result of this strategy, Carver's total assets increased from $371.1 million at March 31, 1996 to $423.6 million at March 31, 1997. The net effect of the transactions settling on April 1, 1997, ($49 million of securities sold, $32 million in loans purchased, and retirement of $17 million in FHLB borrowings), was a reduction in total assets of $17 million, to $406.6 million at April 1, 1997. 1 As a result of the foregoing, during fiscal 1997, the loan portfolio increased by 140% from $82.6 million at March 31, 1996, to $197.9 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of $115.3 million. In addition, Carver added approximately $1.6 million to its provisions for loan losses during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level consistent with the Bank's policies. At March 31, 1997, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.13% as compared to 1.42% at March 31, 1996. See "Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996--Provision for Loan Losses." ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT Net interest income, the primary component of Carver's net income, is determined by the difference or "spread" between the yield earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities and the relative amounts of such assets and liabilities. Because Carver's interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of shorter term deposit accounts, Carver's interest rate spread can be adversely affected by changes in general interest rates if its interest-earning assets are not sufficiently sensitive to changes in interest rates. Management has sought to reduce Carver's exposure to changes in interest rates by more closely matching the effective maturities and repricing periods of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities through a variety of strategies, including the origination and purchase of adjustable-rate loans for its portfolio, investment in adjustable-rate and shorter-term mortgage-backed securities and the sale of all long-term fixed-rate loans originated into the secondary market. Carver Federal has also reduced interest rate risk through its origination and purchase of primarily adjustable rate mortgage loans. During fiscal year 1997, loan portfolio increased by $115.3 million, or 140%. The growth in the loan portfolio was funded primarily by matched funding from FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements. See "--Restructuring of Balance Sheet." INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate-sensitive within a specific period if it will mature or reprice within that period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific period of time and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of rate-sensitive liabilities and is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceed the amount of rate-sensitive assets. Generally, during a period of falling interest rates a negative gap could result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap could adversely affect net interest income, and during a period of rising interest rates a negative gap could adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap could result in an increase in net interest income. As illustrated below, Carver had a negative one-year gap equal to 9.95% of total rate-sensitive assets at March 31, 1997, as a result of which its net interest income could be adversely affected by rising interest rates, and positively affected by falling interest rates. 2 The following table sets forth information regarding the projected maturities, prepayments and repricing of the major rate-sensitive asset and liability categories of Carver as of March 31, 1997. Maturity repricing dates have been projected by applying the assumptions set forth below to contractual maturity and repricing dates. The information presented in the following table is derived from data incorporated in "Schedule CMR: Consolidated Maturity and Rate," which is part of the Bank's quarterly reports filed with OTS. The repricing and other assumptions are not necessarily representative of the Bank's actual results. Classifications of items in the table below are different from those presented in other tables and the financial statements and accompanying notes included herein and do not reflect non-performing loans.

- -------------------------------------------- (1) Includes securities available-for-sale. 3 The preceding table was prepared utilizing certain assumptions regarding prepayment and decay rates as determined by the OTS for savings associations nationwide as of December 31, 1995. While management does not believe that these assumptions will be materially different from Carver's actual experience, the actual interest rate sensitivity of the Bank's assets and liabilities could vary significantly from the information set forth in the table due to market and other factors. The following assumptions were used: (i) adjustable-rate first mortgage loans will prepay at the rate of 6% per year; and (ii) fixed-rate first mortgage loans will prepay annually as follows:
COUPON RATE ANNUAL PREPAYMENT RATE ----------- ---------------------- 30-YEAR 15-YEAR 5-YEAR BALLOON ------- ------- -------------- 6.50%......................... 9.00% 8.00% 13.00% 7.00.......................... 9.00 9.00 16.00 7.50.......................... 11.00 11.00 19.00 8.00.......................... 13.00 14.00 25.00 8.50.......................... 16.00 -- -- 9.00.......................... 20.00 -- -- 9.50.......................... 25.00 -- -- 10.00......................... 28.00 -- --
In addition, it is assumed that fixed maturity deposits are not withdrawn prior to maturity, transaction accounts will decay at a rate of 37% in the first year and passbook accounts will decay at a rate of 17% in the first year, and money market accounts will reflect a 79% decay rate in year one. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the table above. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturity or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in the market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgages, generally have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayments and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Additionally, an increased credit risk may result as the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. Virtually all of the adjustable-rate loans in Carver's portfolio contain conditions which restrict the periodic change in interest rate. The ratio of cumulative gap to total rate sensitivity assets for the fiscal year changed from positive 28.14% at March 31, 1996 to negative 9.95% at March 31, 1997. The adjustable rate assets accounts was 84.83% of the Bank's total interest sensitive assets as at March 31, 1997. AVERAGE BALANCE, INTEREST AND AVERAGE YIELDS AND RATES The following table sets forth certain information relating to Carver's average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and the average cost of liabilities for the years indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average month-end balances, except for federal funds which are derived from daily balances. Management does not believe that the use of average monthly balances instead of average daily balances on all other accounts has caused any material difference in the information presented. The table also presents information for the years indicated with respect to the difference between the weighted average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing 4 liabilities, or "interest rate spread," which savings institutions have traditionally used as an indicator of profitability. Another indicator of an institution's net interest income is its "net interest margin," which is its net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets. Net interest income is affected by the interest rate spread and by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. When interest-earning assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. 5

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996 Carver's total assets increased by $56.0 million, or 15.23%, from $367.6 million at March 31, 1996 to $423.6 million at March 31, 1997. The increase in assets was primarily due to the restructuring of the investment and loan portfolios and leveraging the Company's balance sheet. Carver's portfolio of securities available for sale decreased by $30.5 million, or 26.68%, to $83.8 million at March 31, 1997, from $114.3 million at March 31, 1996. The reason for this significant change in the portfolio was the sale of the Company's portfolio of mutual funds (which was included in securities available for sale), in accordance with the Company's restructuring program. Accordingly the balance of this portfolio at year end consisted of mortgage-backed securities available for sale. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased by $20.3 million, or 15.48%, to $110.8 million at March 31, 1997, from $131.1 million at March 31, 1996, primarily due to principal repayments. Investment securities held to maturity decreased by $7.3 million, or 82.02%, to $1.6 million at March 31, 1997, from $8.9 million at March 31, 1996. This decrease in investment securities was due primarily to the call back of certain bonds totaling $7.0 million. Carver's loans receivable increased to $197.9 million at March 31, 1997, as compared to $82.6 million at March 31, 1996. In fiscal year 1997, 8 Carver Federal purchased $83.0 million of one- to four-family mortgage loans. See "Restructuring of Balance Sheet." Carver's total liabilities increased by $56.8 million, or 17.07%, from $332.8 million at March 31, 1996, to $389.6 million at March 31, 1997, as a result of an increase in borrowings as well as increased deposits. At March 31, 1997, the Bank's FHLB advances were $45.4 million, an increase of $20.0 million, or 78.74%, as compared to advances of $25.4 million at March 31, 1996. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $27.3 million, or 58.09%, to $74.3 million at March 31, 1997, from $47.0 million at March 31, 1996. Carver used the proceeds from the principal payments of securities to decrease its borrowings and thereby reduce the cost of funds. COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996 NET INCOME (LOSS). For fiscal 1997, the Company experienced a net loss of $1.7 million, as compared to net income of $753,000 for the year ended March 31, 1996. Earnings for fiscal 1997 were adversely affected by three unusual events. During the second quarter of fiscal 1997, Carver experienced a one time pre-tax assessment of $1.6 million for the recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") pursuant to legislation which was enacted in September of 1996. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, Carver experienced a one time pre-tax charge of $1.0 million as a result of the disposition of approximately $72 million of money market rate investment securities, or mutual funds. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company added approximately $1.6 million to its provision for loan losses. Carver's operating results for the year were also impacted by an increase in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expense. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the year ended March 31, 1997, increased $429,000, or 4.32%, to $10.3 million as compared to $9.9 million for the year ended March 31, 1996 ("fiscal 1996"). Carver's interest rate spread widened from 2.57% in fiscal 1996 to 2.90% in fiscal 1997, and its interest margin increased from 2.85% in fiscal 1996, to 3.04% in fiscal 1997. These increases in interest rate spread and net interest margin resulted in part from the decreased cost of deposits and borrowed money. These increases also reflect the replacement of certain investment and mortgage-backed securities with higher yielding loans. The ratio of the Company's average interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.04x in fiscal 1997, from 1.07x in fiscal 1996. The changes in this ratio primarily reflects the increase in average interest earning assets. INTEREST INCOME. Carver's interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, decreased by $682,000, or 2.90%, to $22.8 million as compared to $23.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996. The decrease in interest income resulted primarily from a 3 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-bearing assets, from 6.73% during fiscal year 1996, to 6.70% during fiscal year 1997 and a decline of $8.8 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The decline in average yield resulted from a lower interest rate environment. The decrease in interest income resulted in part from a $2.2 million, or 18.31%, decrease in income from mortgage-backed securities, reflecting a decrease of 11 basis points in the average yield to 6.38% in fiscal 1997 from 6.49% in fiscal 1996. The decrease in interest income also resulted in part from a $1.1 million or 9 an 18.33% decrease in interest income from investment securities, primarily due to a decrease of 76 basis points in the average yield to 5.58% during fiscal 1997 from 6.34% during fiscal 1996. A decline in the general level of interest rates lead these assets, which are primarily adjustable rate, to reprice to lower yields during fiscal 1997. The decline in average yields resulted in a decline in interest income. The impact of these declines in the average yields was offset in part by a shift in Carver's interest earning assets. The shift was reflected in the declines in the average balances of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities which were offset by a significant increase in the average balance of higher yielding mortgage loans. In addition, the average yield on mortgage loans increased slightly from 8.26% for fiscal 1996 to 8.31% during fiscal 1997. INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense decreased by $1.1 million, or 8.18%, to $12.4 million for fiscal 1997, as compared to $13.5 million for fiscal 1996. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of 88 basis points in the average cost of borrowings during the fiscal 1997 as well as a decrease in average balance on borrowings, of $6.8 million, or 9.29%, to $66.4 million for fiscal 1997, as compared to $73.2 million for fiscal 1996. The interest expense on deposits for the year ended March 31, 1997, decreased nominally by $35,000, or 0.42%, from $8.39 million for the year ended March 31, 1996 to $8.36 million for the year ended March 31, 1997 despite an increase in average deposits of $8.7 million, or 3.43% to $262.0 million for fiscal year 1997, as compared to $253.3 million for fiscal 1996. The decrease in average balance was offset by a 12 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits, from 3.31% for the year ended March 31, 1996 to 3.19% for fiscal year 1997. The increase in deposits costs is due principally to a decline in the average cost of certificate of deposit accounts in the lower interest rate environment. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses increased by $1.6 million from $131,000, for the year ended March 31, 1996, to $1.7 million for the year ended March 31, 1997. In addition, the decision to increase the provision reflects the increase in non-performing loans from $3.3 million at March 31, 1996 to $6.4 million at March 31, 1997, net charge-offs of $649,000 during fiscal 1997, compared to a net recovery of $19,000 in fiscal 1996, and the increase in the loan portfolio to $197.8 million at March 31, 1997 from $82.6 million at March 31, 1996. The net effect of the increased provision and the charge-offs for fiscal 1997 was an increase in the allowance for loan losses from $1.2 million at March 31, 1996, to $2.2 million at March 31, 1997, and equaled 1.09% of the gross loan portfolio compared to 1.42% at March 31, 1996. The decline in the ratio of allowances to total loans is the result of the significant increase in gross loans at March 31, 1997. In determining its provision for loan losses, management establishes specific loss allowances on identified problem loans and general loss allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income is composed of loan fees and service charges, gains or (losses) from the sale of securities, and fee income for banking services. Non-interest income for fiscal year 1997, decreased by $495,000, or 81.44%, to $113,000, from $608,000 for fiscal year 1996. The decrease was due to loss of $1.0 million on the sale of Carver's mutual fund investments, as part of the asset restructuring during fiscal 1997 substantially offset by increased loan and fee services, charges, and other fees loan fee and service charge income increased by $116,000 or 149.33% due a substantial increase in loan obligations. Fee income for banking services increased by $315,000 or 59.53%, primarily due to an increase in the fees charged for selected services and income from automatic teller machines. 10 NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense increased by $2.7 million, or 30.37%, to $11.8 million for fiscal 1997, as compared to $9.1 million for fiscal year 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to a one-time pre-tax assessment of $1.6 million for the recapitalization of SAIF, pursuant to the Funds Act. Excluding the SAIF assessment, total non-interest expense would have been $10.2 million for fiscal 1997. During the fiscal year 1997 Carver invested substantially in improving its infrastructure. These investments encompassed upgrading technology, increasing staff and expanding marketing efforts. These investments increased operating expenses for the fiscal year 1997. Salaries and employee benefits for fiscal year 1997 increased by $562,000, or 16.13%, to $4.0 million from $3.4 million for fiscal year 1996. This increase was primarily due to a general increase in staff, incentive compensation and ESOP expense. Equipment expense for fiscal 1997 increased by $403,000, or 58.72%, to $1.1 million from $686,000 in fiscal year 1996, reflecting the increased depreciation and maintenance cost for new furniture, fixtures and computers for Carver's new headquarters and certain branches. Net occupancy expense for fiscal year 1997 increased by $136,000, or 13.92%, to $1.1 million from $976,000 in fiscal year 1996. Increase in rent, cleaning expenses and depreciation of leasehold expenses account for the increase in occupancy expense. These increases in non-interest expenses were offset in part by decreased deposit insurance premiums from $618,000 during fiscal 1996 to $482,000 for fiscal 1997. This $137,000 or 22.9%, decrease was due to decreased assessment rates which became effective as of the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997. See "Impact of Recent Legislation--Recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund SAIF." Legal expenses during fiscal year 1997, decreased by $194,000, or 55.26%, to $157,000 from $351,000 during fiscal year 1996. The decrease in legal cost was due mainly to capitalization of the costs incurred in connection with the Reorganization of approximately $225,000. This amount is being depreciated on a straight line basis over sixty months. Other non-interest expense increased $314,000, or 16.33%, due to increases on a variety of miscellaneous expense categories, including, among other items, travel and expense, employee training and charitable contribution expenses. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense (benefit) for fiscal year 1997, was a benefit of $1.2 million, compared to $606,000 for fiscal year 1996, due to the net loss for fiscal 1977. The Company's effective tax rates were 42.3% and 44.59% for the years then ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995 The Bank's total assets decreased by $305,000, or 0.09%, from $367.9 million at March 31, 1995 to $367.6 million at March 31, 1996. The decrease in assets was not significant. The Bank's portfolio of mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale increased $22.0 million, or 111.1%, to $41.7 million at March 31, 1996 from $19.7 million at March 31, 1995 and its portfolio of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased $50.0 million, or 27.6%, to $131.1 million at March 31, 1996 from $181.1 million at March 31, 1995. The reason for change in those two portfolios was mainly due to a transfer of $25.2 million of mortgage-backed securities from the held to maturity portfolio to the available-for-sale portfolio as allowed by FASB 115. Investment securities held-to-maturity decreased $9.1 million, or 50.45%, to $8.9 million at March 31, 1996 from $18.0 million at March 31, 1995. This decrease in investment securities was due to call back of bonds of $9 million. The Bank's securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity consisted primarily of U.S. Government and agency securities and mutual funds invested in similar securities. The Bank's additional mortgage-backed securities consisted entirely of securities which meet the regulatory definition of non-high risk mortgage securities. The Bank's loans receivable increased to $82.6 million at March 31, 1996 as compared to $48.5 million at March 31, 1995. In fiscal year 1996 Carver Federal purchased $26.3 million of single family loans. 11 The Bank's total liabilities decreased by $268,000, or 0.08%, from $333.2 million at March 31, 1995 to $332.8 million at March 31, 1996 as the result of decreased borrowings offset by increased deposits. At March 31, 1996, the Bank's FHLB advances were $25.4 million, a decrease of $37.0 million, or 59.29%, as compared to advances of $62.4 million at March 31, 1995. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $28.8 million, or 158.41%, to $47.0 million at March 31, 1996 from $18.2 million at March 31, 1995. The Bank used the principal payments of securities to decrease the borrowing in order to reduce the cost of funds. COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995 NET INCOME. Net income for the year ended March 31, 1996, decreased by $92,000, or 10.88%, to $753,000 from $845,000 for the year ended March 31, 1995. The decline in net income, however, resulted primarily from an increase in non interest expense. During fiscal year 1996, Carver Federal invested substantially in improving the Bank's infrastructure. These investments encompassed upgrading technology, increasing lending department staff, expanding marketing efforts, and re-opening the Bank's headquarters which had been destroyed by fire. The Bank also incurred increased legal cost in defending the class action suit brought by the shareholders which was dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, as well as higher legal costs associated with operating as a public company. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the year ended March 31, 1996 increased $716,000, or 7.77%, to $9.9 million as compared to $9.2 million for the year ended March 31, 1995. The Bank's interest rate spread narrowed from 2.74% in fiscal year 1995 to 2.57% in fiscal year 1996 and its interest margin decreased from 2.91% in fiscal year 1995 to 2.85% in fiscal year 1996. This decrease in interest rate spread and interest margin resulted from increased cost of deposits and borrowed money which was partially offset by an increase in average yield on interest earning asset. The ratio of the Bank's average interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities improved to 1.07x in fiscal year 1996 from 1.05x in fiscal year 1995. The improvement in this ratio primarily reflects an increase in stockholders' equity and non-interest-bearing liabilities. INTEREST INCOME. The Bank's interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996 increased $3.8 million, or 19.13%, to $23.5 million as compared to $19.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995. The increase in interest income resulted primarily from a 50 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-bearing assets, from 6.23% during fiscal year 1995 to 6.73% during fiscal year 1996. The increase in average yield reflects the higher interest rate environment experienced during fiscal year 1996 and, to a lesser extent, the increased percentage of interest-earning assets represented by higher yielding loans during year. The increase in interest income resulted in part from a $2.1 million, or 20.26%, increase in income from mortgage-backed securities due to increases in the Bank's portfolio of securities held-to-maturity and securities available-for-sale during fiscal year 1996. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $8.2 million, or 4.54%, in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities during fiscal year 1996 as compared to fiscal year 1995. The increase in income from these assets was enhanced by an increase of 84 basis points in yields to 6.49% during fiscal year 1996 from 5.65% during fiscal year 1995. The higher average balance and higher yield in mortgage-backed securities portfolio during fiscal year 1996 reflect the investment of funds 12 from deposit growth. Interest income from loans increased $708,000, or 17.30%, to $4.8 million during fiscal year 1996 as compared $4.1 million during fiscal year 1995. The increase in income from loans was primarily due to an increase in average balance of $8.5 million, or 17.19%, during fiscal year 1996 as compared to fiscal year reflecting the implementation of Carver Federal's strategy of increasing loan originations and purchases. Interest income from investment securities increased $577,000, or 11.03%, to $5.8 million during fiscal year 1996 as compared to $5.2 million for the year ended March 31, 1995. This increase in interest income is due to increase in the average balance of investment securities of $10.2 million during fiscal year 1996 as compared to fiscal year 1995. The average yield on investment securities decreased by 8 basis points during fiscal year 1996 to 6.34% as compared to 6.42% during fiscal year 1995. Interest income from federal funds sold increased $436,000, or 162.08%, to $705,000 during fiscal year 1996 as compared to $269,000 during fiscal year 1995. This increase in interest income reflects an increase in the average balance of federal funds sold increased $6.2 million, or 108.24% to $11.9 million during fiscal year 1996 as compared to $5.7 million during fiscal year 1995. The increase in interest income from federal fund sold is in part due to 121 basis points in average yield during fiscal year 1996 as compared to fiscal year 1995. INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense increased $3.1 million, 29.07%, to $13.6 million for fiscal year 1996 as compared to $10.5 million for fiscal year 1995. The increase was attributable to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities due to an increase in deposits and borrowings. The interest expense on deposits for the year ended March 31, 1996 , increased $917,000, or 12.27%, from $7.5 million for the year ended March 31, 1995 to $8.4 million for the year ended March 31, 1996. The increase resulted from a $5.5 million, or 2.23%, increase in the average balance of deposits and a 29 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits, from 3.02% for the year ended March 31, 1995 to 3.31% for fiscal year 1996. The increase in deposits costs is due principally to an increase in higher rate certificate accounts. Interest expense on borrowings for the year ended March 31, 1996 increased $2.1 million, or 70.12%, from $3.1 million for the year ended March 31, 1995 to $5.2 million for the year ended March 31, 1996. The increase resulted from a $19.0 million, or 35.09%, increase in the average balance of borrowings, reflecting the Bank's leveraging strategy and a 146 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings, from 5.64% for fiscal year 1995 to 7.10% for fiscal year 1996 due to the impact of the higher interest rate environment experienced during the fiscal year. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses decreased by $203,000 from $334,000 for the year ended March 31, 1995, to $131,000 for the year ended March 31, 1996. There was no charge-off during fiscal year 1996. Recovery of charge-off amounted to $19,000 during the same period. The charge-offs net of recoveries during fiscal year 1995 amounted to $527,000. The net effect of provision for loan losses and the net recovery during fiscal 1996 was an increase of the Bank's total allowance for loan losses increased from $1.1 million at March 31, 1995 to $1.2 million at March 31, 1996. At March 31, 1996 the allowance for loan losses represented 1.42% of the gross loan portfolio compared to 2.1% at March 31, 1995. In determining its provision for loan losses, management establishes loss allowances on identified problem loans and the remainder of the loan portfolio. 13 NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income for fiscal year 1996 increased $32,000, or 5.62%, to $608,000, from $576,000 for fiscal year 1995 due primarily to increase in loan fees income. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 14.00%, to $9.1 million for fiscal year 1996 as compared to $7.9 million for fiscal year 1995. During fiscal year 1996 the Bank invested substantially in improving its infrastructure. These investments encompassed upgrading technology, increasing management and lending department staff, expanding marketing efforts, and re-opening the Bank's headquarters which had been destroyed by fire. These investments increased operating expenses for the fiscal year 1996. Salaries and employee benefits for fiscal year 1996 increased $408,000, or 13.26%, to $3.5 million from $3.1 million for fiscal year 1995. This increase was due to increase in management and lending department staff, incentive compensation and ESOP expenses. Net occupancy expense for fiscal year 1996 increased $123,000, or 14.39%, to $978,000 from $853,000 in fiscal year 1995. Increases in rent, cleaning expense and the opening of the Bank's new headquarters account for the increase in occupancy expense. Advertising expense for fiscal year 1996 increased $105,000, or 164.56%, to $168,000 from $64,000 in fiscal year 1995. Carver Federal retained during the fiscal year 1996 the services of a marketing company to expand marketing effort in order to increase origination of loans and deposits for the branches. FDIC insurance premium expense decreased $113,000, or 15.45%, to $618,000 during fiscal year 1996 as compared to $731,000 during fiscal year 1995 due to lower premium rate. Legal expenses during fiscal year 1996 increased $227,000, or 183.35%, to $351,000 from $124,000 during fiscal year 1995. The increase in legal expenses was due mainly to defending the class action law suit brought by certain shareholders as well as higher legal costs associated with operating as a public company. On January 2, 1996, the United States District Court for Southern District of New York dismissed the class action suit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The plaintiffs have filed notice in United States Court of Appeals for second circuit of their intent to appeal. Other non-interest expense (not including legal expenses) increased $488,000, or 34.01%, due to increases on a variety of miscellaneous expense categories. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense for fiscal year 1996 decreased to $606,000 compared to $674,000 for fiscal year 1995, because of lower earnings. The Bank's effective tax rate remains the same for fiscal year 1995. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Carver Federal's primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB advances, and proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investments are predictable sources of funds, deposit flow and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank is required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets and short term liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term borrowings as defined by OTS regulation. The minimum required liquidity and short-term liquidity ratios are currently 5% and 1%, respectively. The Bank's liquidity ratios were 21.86% and 33.00% at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including mutual funds. The level of these assets are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing lending and investing activities during any 14 given period. At March 31,1997, and 1996, assets qualifying for short-term liquidity, including cash and short-term investments, totaled $83.2 million and $85.8 million, respectively. The primary investment activity of the Bank is the origination and purchase of loans and, to a lesser extent, purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities. During fiscal year 1997, Carver purchased $84.7 million in whole loan mortgages, $57.5 million in investment securities and mortgage-backed securities, and sold $83.3 million in investment securities and mortgage-backed securities. During fiscal year 1996 the Bank purchased $26.3 million of whole loan mortgages and originated $13.4 million mortgage and other loans. During fiscal year 1996 no securities were purchased. During fiscal years 1997 and 1996, the Bank received $38.3 million and $27.5 million, respectively, in principal payments. During fiscal year 1997 there was a cash flow of $7 million due to call back of government agency bonds. At March 31, 1997, the Bank had outstanding loan commitments of $13.4 million. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from March 31, 1997 totaled $48.6 million. Management believes that a significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the Bank. REGULATORY CAPITAL POSITION The Bank must satisfy three capital standards as set by the OTS. These standards include a ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets of 3.0%, a tangible capital standard expressed as 1.5% of total adjusted assets, and a combination of a core and "supplementary" capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. The risk-based capital standard currently addresses only the credit risk inherent in the assets in a thrift's portfolio: it does not address other risks that thrifts face, such as operating, liquidity and interest-rate risks. The OTS recently finalized regulations that add interest rate risk component to capital requirements under certain circumstances. The Bank does not expect that this regulation will require it to reduce its capital for purposes of determining compliance with its risk-based capital requirement. In addition, the OTS has recently adopted regulations that impose certain restrictions on savings associations that have a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital (or core capital) to risk-weighted assets of less 4% or a ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets of less than 4% (or 3% if the institution receives the highest rating under the OTS examination rating system). The Bank presently exceeds all capital requirements as currently promulgated. At March 31, 1997, the Bank had tangible, core, and Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, and risk-based capital ratios of 6.95%, 7.18%, 6.97% and 17.94% respectively. 15 The following table reconciles the Bank's stockholders equity at March 31, 1997, under generally accepted accounting principles to regulatory capital requirements:
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS ------------------------------- GAAP TANGIBLE TIER/CORE RISK-BASED CAPITAL CAPITAL CAPITAL CAPITAL ------- ------- ------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS) Stockholders' Equity at March 31, 1997 (1) $ 30,050 $ 30,050 $ 30,050 $ 30,050 ============== ============== ============== ============== Add: Unrealized loss on securities available for sale, net 443 443 443 General valuation allowances 0 0 1,426 Qualifying intangible assets 0 52 52 Deduct: (1,404) (1,404) (1,404) Goodwill 0 Excess of net deferred tax assets 0 0 Asset required to be deducted (40) (40) -------------- -------------- -------------- Regulatory capital 29,089 29,141 30,527 Minimum capital requirement 6,277 12,555 15,260 -------------- -------------- -------------- Regulatory capital excess $ 22,812 $ 16,586 $ 15,267 ============= ============== ==============
- -------------------------------------------- (1) Reflects Bank only. The Bank presently exceeds all capital requirements as currently promulgated. At March 31, 1997, the Bank had tangible, core, and Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, and risk-based capital ratios of 6.95%, 7.18%, 6.97% and 17.94%, respectively. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The financial statements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of Carver's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on Carver's performance than do the effects of the general level of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. IMPACT OF RECENT LEGISLATION SAIF RECAPITALIZATION. For the period from January 1, through September 30, 1996, there existed a disparity of 23 cents per $100 of deposits in the minimum deposit insurance assessment rates applicable to deposits insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the higher assessment rates applicable to deposits insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). In response to this disparity, on September 30, 1996 the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (the "Funds Act") was enacted into law. The Funds Act authorized the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to impose a special assessment on all financial institutions with SAIF-assessable deposits in the amount necessary to recapitalize the SAIF. Pursuant to such authority, the FDIC imposed a special assessment of 65.7 basis points per $100 of an institution's SAIFassessable deposits held on March 31, 1995. The Company's special SAIF assessment of $1.6 million was charged to expense in September 1996 and paid in November 1996. In view of the recapitalization of the SAIF, the FDIC reduced the assessment rates for SAIF-assessable deposits. For the calendar year 1997, the SAIF assessment rates range from 0 to 27 basis points, which is the same range of rates applicable to the BIF. Prior to the SAIF recapitalization, all SAIF-insured institutions were subject to a minimum assessment of 23 basis 16 points. The Funds Act also expanded the assessment base to include BIF-insured, as well as SAIF-insured, institutions to fund payments on the bonds issued by the Financing Corporation ("FICO bonds") to recapitalize the now defunct Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. In order to fund such interest payments, a separate assessment of 1.3 basis points for BIF-assessable deposits and 6.48 basis points for SAIF-assessable deposits became effective on January 1, 1997. The Funds Act requires that, until December 31, 1999 or such earlier date on which the last savings association ceases to exist, the rates of assessment for FICO bond payments imposed on BIF-assessable deposits will be one-fifth of the rate imposed on SAIF-assessable deposits. As a result of the lower overall assessment rates, the Company's non-interest expense for the year justify months ended March 31, 1997 was reduced by $137,000 compared to the same period in 1996. The Funds Act also provides for the merger of the BIF and SAIF on January 1, 1999, with such merger being conditioned upon the prior elimination of the thrift charter. The Funds Act required the Secretary of Treasury to conduct a study of relevant factors with respect to the development of a common charter for all insured depository institutions and the abolition of separate charters for banks and thrifts and to report the Secretary's conclusions and the findings to Congress. The Secretary of the Treasury has recommended that the separate charter for thrifts be eliminated only if other legislation is adopted that permits bank holding companies to engage in certain non-financial activities. Absent legislation permitting such non-financial activity, the Secretary of the Treasury recommended retention of the thrift charter. Other proposed legislation has been introduced in Congress that would require thrift institutions to convert to bank charters. The Secretary of the Treasury also recommended that the BIF and the SAIF be merged irrespective of the elimination of the thrift charter. TAX BAD DEBT RESERVES. Federal tax law changes were enacted in August 1996 to eliminate the "thrift bad debt" method of calculating bad debt deductions for tax years after 1995 and to require thrifts to recapture into taxable income (over a six-year period) all bad debt reserves accumulated after 1987. Since the Bank's federal bad debt reserves approximated the 1987 base-year amounts, this recapture requirement had no significant impact. The tax law changes also provide that taxes associated with the recapture of pre-1988 bad debt reserves would become payable under more limited circumstances than under prior law. For example, such taxes would no longer be payable in the event that the thrift charter is eliminated and the Bank is required to convert to a bank charter. Amendments to the New York state and New York City tax laws redesignate the Bank's state and New York City bad debt reserves at December 31, 1995 as the base-year amount and also provide for future additions to each of the base-year reserve using the percentage-of-taxable-income method. This change eliminated the excess New York state and New York City reserves for which the Company had recognized a deferred tax liability. Management does not expect these changes to have a significant impact on the Bank. Taxes associated with the recapture of the and New York City state base-year reserve would still become payable under various circumstances, including conversion to a bank charter or failure to meet various thrift definition tests. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. SFAS No. 125 provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transactions that are secured borrowings. SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers occurring after December 31, 1996. In December 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB State No. 125, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 125." In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which 17 provides for the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the computation of earnings per share for common stock and potential common stock. The adoption of SFAS Nos. 125, 127 and 128 is not expected to have a material effect on Carver Bancorp's future financial condition, results of operations or reported results of operations. ITEM 8.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 24 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BACKGROUND Carver Bancorp, Inc. ("Carver" or the "Holding Company") is a bank holding company that was incorporated in May 1996 and whose principal wholly owned subsidiary is Carver Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"). CFSB Realty Corp. and CFSB Credit Corp. are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Bank. The Bank was chartered in 1948 and began operations in 1949 as Carver Federal Savings and Loan Association, a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association. The Bank converted to a federal savings bank in 1986 and changed its name at that time. On October 24, 1994, Carver Federal Savings Bank converted from mutual stock form and issued 2,314,375 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share. In connection with an agreement and plan of reorganization whereby the Bank would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Carver, the Bank incorporated Carver on May 9, 1996 under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to the Reorganization, each outstanding share of the outstanding common stock of the Bank was converted on a one-to-one basis for Carver's common stock, except for 100 shares with regard to which a stockholder of the Bank exercised dissenters' rights of appraisal. Accordingly, 2,314,275 shares of Carver's common stock are presently issued and outstanding. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Carver's banking subsidiary's principal business consists of attracting passbook and other savings accounts through its branch offices and investing those funds in mortgage loans and other investments permitted federal savings banks. Carver's banking subsidiary has seven branches located throughout the City of New York that primarily serves the communities in which they operate. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carver, the Bank and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CFSB Realty Corp. and CFSB Credit Corp. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near-term relate to prepayment assumptions on mortgage-backed securities, the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate owned. Management believes that prepayment assumptions on mortgage-backed securities are appropriate, the allowance for loan losses is adequate and real estate owned is properly valued. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and real estate owned, future additions to the allowance for loan losses or future write downs of real estate owned may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in Carver's market area. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review Carver's allowance for loan losses and real estate owned valuations. Such agencies may require Carver 25 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses or additional write downs of real estate owned based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from depository institutions and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds sold are sold for one-day periods. INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES When purchased, securities are classified in either the investments held to maturity portfolio or the securities available for sale portfolio. Securities can be classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost only if the reporting entity has a positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. If not classified as held to maturity, such securities must be classified as securities available for sale. Unrealized holding gains or losses for securities available for sale are to be excluded from earnings and reported net of deferred income taxes as a separate component of retained earnings. On February 17, 1994, the Bank entered into a four-year interest rate protection agreement for a notional amount of $20,000,000 as a hedge against possible losses in the securities available for sale portfolio. The interest rate protection agreement, which is in effect until January 10, 1998, is indexed to the three-month LIBOR with a strike rate of 5.5%. The $410,000 paid for the contract is treated as a premium and is included in the investment securities available for sale portfolio. The premium is amortized over the term of the contract on the straight-line basis. Contractual payments earned, which totaled $102,500 for the year ended March 31, 1997, are treated as yield adjustments on the hedged securities. At March 31, 1997, the three-month LIBOR stood at 5.77344%. Investment and mortgage-backed securities held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts using the level-yield method over the remaining period until maturity. Gains or losses on sales of securities of all classifications are recognized on the specific identification method. LOANS RECEIVABLE Loans receivable are carried at unpaid principal balances plus unamortized premiums, less the allowance for loan losses and deferred loan fees and discounts. Carver defers loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs and accretes such amounts as an adjustment of yield over the contractual lives of the related loans by use of the interest method. Premiums and discounts on loans purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, as an adjustment of yield over the contractual lives of the related loans by use of the interest method. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are past due three months or more as to contractual obligations. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest accrued but not received is reversed against interest income. A non-accrual loan is restored to accrual status when principal and interest payments become less than three months past due. 26 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A loan is considered to be impaired, as defined by FAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," when it is probable that Carver will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Carver tests loans covered under FAS No. 114 for impairment if they are on nonaccrual status or have been restructured. Consumer credit nonaccrual loans are not tested for impairment because they are included in large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that, by definition along with leases, are excluded from the scope of FAS No. 114. Impaired loans are required to be measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's initial effective interest rate, or at the loan's market price or fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the loan valuation is less than the recorded value of the loan, an impairment reserve must be established for the difference. The impairment reserve is established by either an allocation of the reserve for credit losses or by a provision for credit losses, depending on the adequacy of the reserve for credit losses. Impairment reserves are not needed when interest payments have been applied to reduce principal, or when credit losses have been recorded so that the recorded investment in an impaired loan is less than the loan valuation. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES An allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to absorb future loan losses. Management, in determining the allowance for loan losses, considers the risks inherent in its loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its loan activities, along with the general economic and real estate market conditions. Carver maintains a loan review system which allows for a periodic review of its loan portfolio and the early identification of potential problem loans. Such system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers. Loan loss allowances are established for problem loans based on a review of such information and/or appraisals of the underlying collateral. On the remainder of its loan portfolio, loan loss allowances are based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, actual loan loss experience, composition of loan portfolio, current economic conditions and management's judgment. Although management believes that adequate loan loss allowances have been established, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of the loan loss allowance may be necessary in the future. CONCENTRATION OF RISK Real estate and lending activities are concentrated in real estate and loans secured by real estate a substantial portion of which is located in the State of New York. 27 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are comprised of land and construction in progress, at cost, and buildings, building improvements, furnishings and equipment and leasehold improvements, at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization charges are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and improvements 10 to 50 years Furnishings and equipment 3 to 10 years Leasehold improvements The lesser of useful life or term of lease Significant renewals and betterments are charged to the property and equipment account. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the year incurred. REAL ESTATE OWNED Real estate acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value at the date of acquisition and thereafter carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. The amounts ultimately recoverable from real estate owned could differ from the net carrying value of these properties because of economic conditions and the current softness in the local real estate market. Costs incurred to improve properties or get them ready for sale are capitalized. Revenues and expenses related to the holding and operating of properties are recognized in operations as earned or incurred. Gain or loss on sale of properties is recognized as incurred. EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED In connection with the acquisition of two branches, core deposit premiums paid and other capitalized acquisition costs are being amortized to expense over periods from five to fifteen years using the straight-line method. INTEREST-RATE RISK The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using these deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to originate loans secured by real estate and purchase investment and mortgage-backed securities. The potential for interest-rate risk exists as a result of the shorter duration of interest-sensitive liabilities compared to the generally longer duration of interest-sensitive assets. In a rising rate environment, liabilities will reprice faster than assets, thereby reducing the market value of long-term assets and net interest income. For this reason, management regularly monitors the maturity structure of the assets and liabilities in order to measure its level of interest-rate risk and plan for future volatility. INCOME TAXES Federal, state and city income taxes have been provided on the basis of reported income. The amounts reflected on the tax returns differ from these provisions due principally to temporary differences in the treatment of certain items of income and expense for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes. 28 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Deferred income taxes in the consolidated statement of condition are adjusted each year to reflect the cumulative taxable and deductible temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards at the then existing income tax rates. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE Net income per common share for the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 is based on net income for the entire year dividend by weighted average shares outstanding during the year. However, the pro forma net income per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 is based on net income for the entire year, as if the Bank had converted to stock form (see Note 2) on the first day of the fiscal year, and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Historical net income per share is calculated based on prorated earnings for October 24, 1994 (the date of the Bank's conversion) to March 31, 1995. For the purpose of these calculations, unreleased ESOP shares are not considered to be outstanding. NOTE 2. CONVERSION TO STOCK FORM OF OWNERSHIP AND REORGANIZATION INTO A HOLDING COMPANY On October 24, 1994, the Bank issued an initial offering of 2,314,375 shares of common stock (par value $0.01) at a price of $10 per share resulting in net proceeds of $21,519,000. As part of the initial public offering and in order to grant priority to eligible depositors, the Bank established a liquidation account at the time of conversion, in an amount equal to the surplus and reserves of the Bank at September 30, 1994. In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of the Bank (and only in such event), eligible depositors who continue to maintain accounts shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account. The total amount of the liquidation account may be decreased if the balances of eligible deposits decreased as measured on the annual determination dates. The balance of the liquidation account was approximately $5,763,000, and $6,800,000 at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. On October 17, 1996, the Bank completed a reorganization into a holding company structure (the "Reorganization) and became the wholly-owned subsidiary of Carver Bancorp., Inc., a savings and loan holding company. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated May 21, 1996, each share of the Bank's outstanding common stock was exchanged for one share of the Holding Company's common stock. In connection with the Reorganization, a shareholder of the Bank exercised common stock were purchased and 100 shares of the Bank's common stock were purchased from such shareholder in the fourth fiscal quarter of 1997. Accordingly 2,314,275 shares of the Company's common stock remain outstanding. The Bank's shareholder approved the Reorganization at the Bank's annual meeting of shareholders held on July 29, 1996. As a result of the Reorganization, the Bank will not be permitted to pay dividends to the Holding Company on its capital stock if the effect thereof would cause its net worth to be reduced below either: (i) the amount required for the liquidation account or (ii) the amount required for the Bank to comply with applicable minimum regulatory capital requirements. 29 CARVER BANCORP INC.

At March 31, 1997 and 1996, the advances were secured by pledges of the Bank's investment in the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $5,535,000 respectively and a blanket assignment of the Bank's unpledged qualifying mortgage, mortgage-backed securities and investment portfolios. NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES The Bank qualifies as a thrift institution under the provisions of the Code and is therefore permitted to deduct from taxable income an allowance for bad debts based on the greater of: (1) actual loan losses (the "experience method"); or (2) eight percent of taxable income before such bad debt deduction less certain adjustments (the "percentage of taxable income method"). For the tax years ended December 31,1996 and 1995, the deduction for bad debts was computed using the experience method. For the year ended March 31, 1997, the deductions for bad debt was computed using the percentage method. Retained earnings at March 31, 1997, includes approximately $4,183,000 of such bad debts, for which federal income taxes have not been provided. If such amount is used for purpose other than bad debts losses, including distributions in liquidation, it will be subject to federal income tax at the current rate. The components of income taxes are summarized as follows: Year Ended March 31, -------------------- 1997 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- Current $ (1,348,259) $ 785,816 $ 750,166 Deferred 73,181 (179,942) (75,869) -------------- ------------- ------------- $ (1,275,078) $ 605,874 $ 674,297 =============== ============= ============= 38 CARVER BANCORP INC.

39 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 15. REGULATORY CAPITAL The operations and profitability of the Bank are significantly affected by legislation and the policies of the various regulatory agencies. The FERREA, among other things, increase the FDICIA imposes increased requirements on the operations of financial institutions that fall below certain capital standards. As required by the FERREA, the OTS promulgated capital requirements for financial institutions consisting of minimum tangible and core capital ratios of 1.50% and 3.00%, respectively, of the institution's adjusted total assets and a minimum risk-based capital ratio of 8.00% of the institution's risk weighted assets. Although the minimum core capital ratio is 3.00%, the FDICIA stipulates that an institution with less than 4.00% core capital is deemed undercapitalized. At March 31,1997 and 1996, the Bank exceeded all the current capital requirements. The following table sets out the Bank's various regulatory capital categorized at March 31, 1997. 1997 ---- Dollars Percentage ------- ---------- (thousands) Tangible capital $ 29,089 6.95% Tangible equity $ 30,050 7.18% Core/leverage capital $ 29,141 6.96% Tier 1 risk-based capital $ 30,527 6.97% Total risk-based capital $ 30,527 17.94% 40 CARVER BANCORP INC.

MANAGEMENT RECOGNITION PLAN Pursuant to the management recognition plan approved at the stockholders meeting held on September 12, 1995, the Bank recognized $56,570 as expense for the year ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. NOTE 17. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN Effective upon conversion, an ESOP was established for all eligible employees. The ESOP used $1,821,320 in proceeds from a term loan obtained from a third-party institution to purchase 182,132 shares of Bank common stock in the initial public offering. The term loan principal is payable over forty equal quarterly installments through September 2004. Interest on the term loan is payable quarterly, at a rate of 3.00% over the average federal funds rate. Each year, the Bank intends to make discretionary contributions to the ESOP which will be equal to principal and interest payments required on the term loan less any dividends received by the ESOP on unallocated shares. Shares purchased with the loan proceeds were initially pledged as collateral for the term loan and are held in a suspense account for future allocation among the participants on the basis of compensation, as described by the Plan, in the year of allocation. The ESOP is accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6, "Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plan", which was issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in November 1993. Accordingly, the ESOP shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated statements of financial condition. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Bank reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the share become outstanding for net income per common share computations. ESOP compensation expense was $156,064 and $153,295 for the years ended March 31,1997 and 1996 respectively. The ESOP shares at March 31,1997 and 1996 are as follows: 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- Allocated shares 28,389 -- ---------- ---------- Shares committed to be released 21,847 28,389 Unreleased shares 131,896 153,743 ---------- ---------- Total ESOP shares 182,132 182,132 ========== ========== Fair value of unreleased shares $1,269,499 $1,345,251 ========== ========== 44 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing need of its customers. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit and to sell loans. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial condition. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The Bank has outstanding various loan commitments as follows: March 31, --------- 1997 1996 ---- ---- Commitments To Originate Loans Mortgage $ 13,443,419 $ 4,905,316 ============= ============= Commitments To Purchase Loans Mortgage $ 32,544,057 $ - ============= ============= Commitments To Sell Loans Mortgage $ - $ 1,948,000 Consumer loans - - ------------- ------------ Total $ - $ 1,948,000 ============= ============= At March 31,1997, of the $13,443,419 in outstanding commitments to originate mortgage loans, $2,460,000 are at fixed rates within a range of 7.625% to 8.50%, $9,114,000 are for balloon loans with 5 years maturity, whose rates range between 8.00% to 11.75% and $1,870,000 commercial are adjustable rate with initial rates ranging from 50% to 8.75%. At March 31, 1997, all of the $32,544,057 in outstanding commitments to purchase mortgage loans are at adjustable rates within a range 6.750 - 8.125%, ranging from 1-7 years. At March 31, 1997, $49,000,000 in Securities carried as "Available for Sale" where sold for settlement on April 1, 1997. At March 31, 1997, $17,000,000 in Borrowings on April 1, 1997, where scheduled for repayment from the Proceeds of Securities sold. At March 31,1997, undisbursed from approved commercial lines of credit totaled $3,258,000. All such lines are secured, including $2,600,000 in warehouse lines of credit secured by the underlying warehoused mortgages, expired within one year, and carry interest rates that float at from 1.50% to 2.00% above the prime rate. 45 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS At March 31, 1997, undisbursed funds from approved lines of credit under a homeowners' equity lending program with an interest rate of 1.25% over the prime rate adjusted on a monthly basis amounted to approximately $112,000. Unless they are specifically canceled by notice from the Bank, these funds represent firm commitments available to the respective borrowers on demand. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held consists primarily of residential real estate, but may include income-producing commercial properties. Rentals, including real estate taxes, under long-term operating leases for certain branch offices aggregated approximately $ 285,000, $302,000 and $269,000 for the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. As of March 31, 1997, minimum rental commitments under all noncancellable leases with initial or remaining terms of more than one year and expiring through 2011 are as follows: Year Ended March 31 Minimum Rental ------------------- -------------- (In Thousands) 1998 $ 263 1999 266 2000 293 2001 296 2002 296 Thereafter 1,330 --------- $ 2,744 ========= The Bank also has, in the normal course of business, commitments for services and supplies. Management does not anticipate losses on any of these transactions. On January 2, 1996, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed the class action encaptioned DOUGHERTY V. CARVER FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The class action alleged that the offering circular, used by Carver to sell its stock in its public offering, contained material misstatements and omissions. Further, the complaint alleged that the Bank's shares were not appraised by an independent appraiser. By separate order on the same date, the court made its ruling applicable to GOMBERG V. CARVER FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK and UMINER V. CARVER FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK, two other class actions filed in the Southern District of New York which asserted claims essentially identical to those asserted in the Dougherty suit. 46 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The plaintiffs filed a consolidated notice of appeal on January 29, 1996 with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In April 1997 the Circuit Court concluded that the District had subject matter jurisdiction over the plaintiffs' complaint, the Circuit Court reversed and remanded the case back to the District Court. On September 19, 1995, Carver filed an action for declaratory judgment, for damages for breach of contract, and for breach of a contractual trust, against Nationar and the Superintendent of the New York State Banking Department, in the Supreme Court of New York State, County of New York. In October of 1994, Nationar made a loan to Carver's ESOP Trust (which now belongs to the Company) in the amount of $1,821,320, to purchase 182,132 shares. Nationar held, as collateral: the ESOP shares, $1,366,000 and $600,000, all in separate accounts. When the Superintendent sold Carver's ESOP loan to a third party purchaser, it failed to transfer Carver's $1,966,000 in collateral. Carver filed lawsuit to secure the return of the entire amount of collateral. By order entered April 10, 1996, on the recommendations of the Superintendent, the Court directed the return of $600,000 of the collateral. The Bank received these funds, plus interest, in early June 1996. Subsequently, the lawsuit was discontinued pursuant to a recommendation of counsel and an expectation that the Bank would recover 90% of the outstanding collateral which amounted to $1,366,000. In July and December of 1996 the Superintendent of Banks made payments of $554,643 and $831,965 respectively to the Bank. As a result of the full recovery of all of its collateral, along with interest, Carver was able to reverse the 13% reserve originally established. In the conduct of the Company's business, it is also involved in normal litigation matters. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of such litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. NOTE 19. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchange in a current transaction between willing parties, other than a forced or liquidation sale. Significant estimations were used by the Bank for the purpose of this disclosure. Estimated fair values have been determined by the Bank using the best available data and estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instrument. For those loans and deposits with floating interest rates, it is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate their recorded book balances. The estimation methodologies used and the estimated fair values and carrying values of the Bank's financial instruments are set forth below: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents and accrued receivable approximate fair value because they mature in three months or less. SECURITIES The fair values for securities available for sale, mortgage-backed securities held to maturity and investment securities held to maturity are based on quoted market or dealer prices, if available. If quoted market or dealer prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market or dealer prices for similar securities. 47 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS LOANS RECEIVABLE The fair value of loans receivable is estimated by discounting future cash flows, using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities of such loans. DEPOSITS The fair value of demand, savings and club accounts is equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, Securities sold under agreement to repurchase and Other borrowed money. The fair values of advances from Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, securities sold under agreement to repurchase and other borrowed money are estimated using the rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. 48 CARVER BANCORP INC.

LIMITATIONS The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no quoted market value exists for a significant portion of the Bank's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on an off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to value anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets and liabilities include premises and equipment and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance. In addition, the 49 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates. Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectively to these estimated fair values. 50 CARVER BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 20.
